Different World Card Master: Change the World with Cards

46: the next dayIt wasn’t until noon the next day that Xu Bai opened his eyes; yesterday had truly been too exhausting.

Xu Bai immediately looked in Xu Le’s direction. To his surprise, Xu Le was already awake and, as if being considerate of Xu Bai’s poor sleep last night, was quietly playing with a pillow by himself.

”Oh, sorry, Lele, Big Brother slept in. Are you hungry, Lele?”

When he noticed Xu Bai was awake, Xu Le smiled, happy enough to reveal his newly grown front teeth.

”Big Brother, good morning.”

”Lele, good morning.”

Children learn to talk so fast. From only being able to blurt out single words at first, he can now basically express himself. In a little while, he might even be able to speak in long sentences.

After feeding Xu Le and washing up, Xu Bai opened the door and went out. Now it was time to get his own breakfast.

Walking downstairs, he saw the auntie who had arranged his lodging yesterday. Xu Bai greeted her politely.

”Good morning, Auntie.”

”Good morning, Xiaobai. It’s safe today, the city gates are open.”

”Okay, thank you. Then I’ll be leaving this afternoon.”

”Okay, have a safe journey.”

”Thank you.”

Hearing this good news so early in the morning made Xu Bai exceptionally happy. Fortunately, items taken from a cards could be put back, so everything was already packed and he could leave directly... He arrived on the bustling main street.

Even though it was midday and the sun was scorching, there were still many people on the street. Beautiful women held umbrellas, shielding themselves from the sun above their heads.

Of course, Xu Bai also held an umbrella, as a sun hat alone couldn’t block much.

Yesterday, they had gone directly to the Energy Guild specialty store by carriage and hadn’t had a chance to properly explore the street. Today, they would wander around until they returned in the afternoon.

Seeing tricycles running all over the street, Xu Bai immediately thought that if he wanted to know where to find good food, these tricycle drivers would know best.

Walking to the street-side parking area, Xu Bai asked, ”Master, where’s the best breakfast around here?”

The masters replied:

”I think the Zhou Ji Dumpling shop on Ankang Street is delicious, and the prices are very reasonable.”

”I think the bun shop on Wuchang Street is good; breakfast buns with douhua (tofu pudding).”

”I think there’s a lot of good food around Chenghuang Temple; they’re all pretty good.”

”Old Li’s noodles on Yunqi Road are also good.”

”That incident happened on Yunqi Road yesterday, so very few people are going there today.”

”That’s right, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Little brother, you’d best not go to Yunqi Road recently.”

Hearing the masters’ kind reminder, Xu Bai nodded in agreement.

Then, Xu Bai directly got into a vehicle and said, ”Master, take me to Chenghuang Temple. How much will it be?”

”Okay, I’ll take you to the North Gate of Chenghuang Temple, which is nearby, for just twelve yuan.” Seeing a customer, the master replied with a smile.

”Okay, no problem.”

Hearing the customer’s answer, the master got off and then pushed the vehicle backward out of the cluster of cars, after which he swiftly got on.

The wind outside was rustling. Xu Bai remembered riding this kind of tricycle when he was a child, but the previous ones seemed to be directly electric, electric tricycles. This one, by comparison, was more difficult.

Upon reaching Chenghuang Temple, the North Gate was its main entrance, so the doorway was very spacious.

Above the entrance was a large plaque, blue background with yellow characters. The traditional characters for Chenghuang Temple were carved onto the plaque, and on both sides were large stone lions, each holding a stone ball in its mouth.

Looking inside, there were many more people than on the street just now; it was very lively.
